Genesis ii. 6. But there went up a mist from the earth,
and watered the whole face of the ground.

The Science and truth of the divine creation have been
presented in the verses already considered, and now the
opposite error, a material view of creation, is
to be set forth. The second chapter of Genesis
contains a statement of this material view of God and
the universe, a statement which is the exact opposite of
scientific truth as before recorded. The history of error
or matter, if veritable, would set aside the omnipotence
of Spirit; but it is the false history in contradistinction
to the true.
